Good thing it turns out I don't actually need that steel boned corset. o<

Haha, my order was probably right behind yours since I went ahead and bought Caterina and Tethys. ;.; Dr. Locks is out of my Caterina extensions until Monday. Today was a sad day for Mr. Debit Card since I also got my shoes.

Now that I've wiped out one envelope of cosplay money it's time to start the new AX/Otakon one. So far I have.....$70.

I'm actually working on Hotohori, I should finish the bottom "suns" tonight since I have them about half cut out. I am proud of my clever foam stamp so my swirlies are consistent.

HOLY. CRAP.
My aunt (who works at the Home Depot that's at the top of the shopping center where I work) tells me they are hiring. And starting pay is at least 2-3 dollars more than I'm making now. And they NEED cashiers, and I can use her as a reference. And I'm willing to come in nigh on every afternoon/night, if I can.
Also a possibility is working at the Borders Express in the local mall. This may just come down to whoever pays more. ^.^

This will be totally AWESOME, because it means I can pay for school and can put more money into some costumes.

...and I'm getting the urge to do more complicated costumes. Crap. (Nothing Trinity Blood, you understand). Tengu!Haruka is currently my most complicated.
Yeah. More than Locke, since I can basically freehand it with Locke.

....NO. BRAIN, I WILL NOT MAKE JENOVA. And I will certainly not round up a Cloud and do a skit to a cut down version of "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space". Oh god, someone please smack some sense into me.

So I'm in a reasonably good mood, especially after hearing at another Home Depot that they train REALLY well. ^.^

*hums* Sorry, watching some footage of Little Shop that my college did last year. Audrey II's voice is FANTASTIC. (And of course, he got a cameo in "Strongest Suit" when the summer theatre did "Aida". BIG PURPLE DRAG QUEEN, XD)

Hrmm...I think I may go to JoAnns tommorow to find some stuff for my Villager and keep looking for Sophia items. (nods) I wonder when they open...I should sleep in, but less traffic is always a plus. XD

And, agh, I have too many cosplays I want to do and not enough time to do them! @___@ I have 3 costumes I want to wear this year up to summer and yet Zuko, Mello, Thorn from the Bone comics, Alice from Pumpkin Scissors, Enma Ai and others are all vying for my attention. I should also try to focus on some cosplays I already have most of the stuff for like school!Rukia (which I may be dragged into a big Bleach group for next AX) or Wolfwood (can we say reused Cazy 88 suit and saikano shirt?). Well enough of my rambling before cosplay mode takes over. ^^;;;

I am starting to resent Hotohori. 8 circles, 8 swirls, and 64 "rays" later I think I'm finally done with the appliques. I was ready to set it on fire after the 72 "birds" for the sleeves. I don't have lots of patience for the tedious bits. Well, now I'm down to the collar, trim, and putting the sleeves on the top. I will finish the clothing tomorrow and hopefully get the sash in. This is mostly just vexing since it's "original" so it's all my own damn fault.

I need a metric asston of muslin so I can start drafting out my Caterina pattern. Some things you just can't freehand...unfortunately I'm a little broke again. ><

I WANTS WIGS!

I'm a bad person. I've been playing with Ashe's armor because I wanted to make stuff, but after Jessica's top, corset, double skirts and ruffles, I was tired of sewing for a bit. XD

HOO boy. I just melted a chunk of my lining fabric. ;_; Now I need to clean my iron and somehow find a way to patch this thing. I fell terrible about it because I don't think I have enough material to make a new piece. ~_~ I'll just have to make the patch very unnoticable.

But embroidery is going well! Halfway there~ Though I'm gonna cheat and just do the visible parts for now, since the con is in a week. >.> I'll finish it off for photoshoots, but for now, I don't have the time. ^^;;;;;

The wig I just dyed is taking FOREVER to rinse out. >.< I'm probably just being impatient though. DURR.

But what's really got me going? THe next costume I get to start is Denna the Mord-sith!!! *HAPPY DANCE* I'm so excited for this costume. I need to learn me some leather working skillz though. And choose a wig colour. I'm really debating between 30 and 130. 0.o The fact that it's a book cosplay doesn't amke the choice easier. At least when I have references I can just match it to something. XDD

OMG!!! Yay Mord-sith cosplay! I love you.

That is all.

Though...why do I have to be so tired that I don't even want to pull out my embroidery for the sutra? *headdesks* I've plenty of time to get it done, but not at the rate I'm working anymore. >_< *sighs*
